Hi,

I am using iptables v1.4.7/8.

I used the following command

iptables -A INPUT -s 10.0.4.247 -m time --utc  --datestart 2013-5-23T7
--datestop 2013-5-23T10:30 -j DROP

my utc time

#date -u

Thu May 23 10:25:48 UTC 2013

#iptables -L

Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination
DROP       all  --  10.0.4.247  anywhere            TIME starting from
2013-05-23 07:00:00 until date 2013-05-23 10:30:00 UTC

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination

but how I can able to ping from the IP 10.0.4.247 after this command and I am
doing with in the blocking time.

One more thing is my local time

#date

Thu May 23 15:57:40 IST 2013

when i am giving following command it is able to block the traffic in the time
even i specified  --utc.

iptables -A INPUT -s 10.0.4.247 -m time --utc  --datestart 2013-5-23T11
--datestop 2013-5-23T16 -j DROP

successfully blocked the traffic for the time given.

but I want it to check the UTC time not local time.how to do this.

Thanks
pradipta
